! hailed by French enthusiasts as III
umph for civilization. Emile de la
| Veleyle contends in the '!tPall Mall Ga
zette'' of London that the creation OF a
court to which all disputes between
Great Britain and the United States
| could be referred, would avoid all dan

union with America, to do away with

| that their country, if compelled, while
carrying all the burdens of an empire, to
| fight the Western giant, may be reduced
| to the condition of a secondary power, as
was the fate of the Netherlands in the
| eighteenth century. He considers that
there are strong hopes of unity in vast
| confederation of all the branches of the
| Anglo Saxon race-the United King
! dom, Canada and Australia, the Cape
and New Zealand-and declares that
such a union would only be complete if
the United States were induced to join
| it, a contingency which he fears cannot
| be thought of as even possible. He as
sumes that the United States will never
be drawn into defensive league of the
British Empire, and will never consent
